Since retirement from paid employment 2 years ago, my meditation practice has become more regular. And due to my yoga practice, my knees have become more flexible.
In the past, I meditated in a nice comfy chair. Lately, I have been assuming the more traditional posture of half lotus position. I thought about creating a more structured meditation space with a floating shelf with flowers and a candle on it.
But the minimalist in me loves for spaces to be mostly empty and flexible and (let’s be real here) easy to clean. So I have created this meditation corner out of objects that also serve at least one other purpose in my home.
I feel more peaceful already.
It is a peaceful space. I’m impressed that you can get in the half lotus. I sort of can, on one side, if I hold my leg there. Sort of.:-)

Priscilla- after 2 years of almost daily yoga practice, my body can do all sorts of thing it could not do 2 years ago. That said, I still can’t do a full-plank push-up or almost anything that requires that kind of upper body strength…..but, I’m getting stronger. Maybe someday.

We apparently have different strengths. I do 20 push ups every day. Maybe someday you’ll be able to do push ups and I’ll be able to do a half lotus!

That is what I am working towards! That, and to be able to do 108 Sun Salutations and a headstand and dancer’s pose…….

I like that the area is easy to clean; as I get older that is becoming a priority. I’m just starting yoga and look forward to not feeling so stiff in the hips and knees!

Be gentle with yourself. Yoga is available whenever you want it. And REST is available whenever you need it.
